That is the word on Drudge.

Following their testimony to Congress, General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker will appear exclusively on FOXNEWS Monday at 9pm EDT for one hour live interview with Brit Hume... Developing...

No confirmation yet.

And Andrew Sullivan is doing the twisted-knicker dance.

If Drudge is right and the general and the ambassador are going to give Fox News' Brit Hume an exclusive hour-long sit-down, then it seems to me they forfeit any pretense of neutrality. They really need either to stick to the Congressional testimony, or appear on more outlets than a purely Republican network. It's extremely important for the integrity of the US military - and the credibility of Petraeus - that it remain above partisanship and even the appearance of partisanship. Here's hoping Drudge is wrong. They couldn't be that stupid, could they?

Last time I checked, Fox News was the highest rated and most trusted news network on cable. Why not go with them? Would we hear this objection if they went on CNN or were interviewed by the mouth-frothing sportscaster on MSNBC? I doubt it. The word for objections to this interview is therefore one we've seen thrown around a lot lately -- hypocrisy.
